Chapter 620 Princess Xianning: However, one day...

Henan government office

Jia Heng mentioned a few words to Fu Shi, and then waved his hand to let him go back first.

Looking at the boy in the python suit with a handsome face and a calm demeanor, Fu Shi hesitated to speak, and wanted to tell about his sister, but after thinking about it, he was somewhat presumptuous and abrupt at this moment, so he said goodbye and left, planning to Wait until the evening to visit the Governor Xingyuan.

Jia Heng, on the other hand, was handling official duties in the Henan government office, first flipped through the personnel information of relevant officials in Henan government, and skipped the name of the magistrate of Xin'an County.

He couldn't help but think of the list sent by Jinyang this morning. Among them were the county magistrate of Xin'an County and the county magistrate of Song County.

Jia Heng thought for a while, put down the books in his hand, and told the clerk: "Bring over the money and food books and criminal case files from Xin'an and Songxian counties, and I will check them now."

The clerk quickly agreed, and after a while led a few people to carry a box into the official hall.

Jia Heng glanced at the wooden box.

The clerk looked at his words and explained with a smile: "My lord, these are all the booklets for three years, and they are all here."

Jia Heng nodded and didn't say much. He ordered the clerk to deliver last year's money and food booklet and began to read it. He wrote while reading it. Thanks to his two lifetimes, he has an excellent memory and quickly listed the data on the paper.

Just like this, I flipped through several booklets in a row, and had some understanding of the civil affairs situation in Yong'an County, and then picked up the criminal name case file to read.

In such a large county, there are actually not a few murder cases a year. Looking at these cases, we mainly look at the level of judgment of the two county magistrates.

Then, focus on checking the money, food and population books of the two counties. Due to natural disasters in the past few years, the household registrations of the two counties have been lost, which is caused by the general environment.

Just flipping through various books like this, time passed, and at You o'clock in the afternoon, he ordered the guards of Jinyi Mansion to return to Jia's Mansion in Delifang.

As soon as I arrived at the flower hall in the backyard, I saw Princess Xianning sitting alone on a chair, reading a book in her hand.

Jia Heng asked naturally, "When did you come back?"

Princess Xianning smiled lightly, and said: "Just now, I went around the manor with Sister Yuanchun and Tanchun in the morning, and saw that Mr. sent someone, saying that today is not the end of the day, so I just thought Mr. Alone at home."

In fact, she didn't want to rub her shoulders and beat her legs for her aunt over there, not to mention playing around with her husband when she came back.

Jia Heng approached, took Princess Xianning's slender hand, and said softly: "Maybe there are some official duties tonight."

Except that the two of them didn't make it to the last step, they usually slept in the same bed when they had time.

"I will accompany you sir." Princess Xianning nodded her head and said softly.

People say that Hongxiu Tianxiang reads at night, the husband is busy with him, and she plays with hers, as long as you toss the husband too much, you won't find that person.

Seeing the young girl's quiet expression, bright eyes under her beautiful eyebrows, and sipping tea with a teacup in her hand, Jia Heng was silent for a while and asked, "What's the matter? You look depressed?"

"No." Princess Xianning's bright eyes flashed, and she pursed her cherry lips.

Jia Heng embraced Princess Xianning's shaved shoulders, sighed and said: "When Zhi'er has troubles, the moles of tears can't be seen."

As he spoke, he gently rubbed the tear mole at the corner of Princess Xianning's eyes with his thumb, speaking softly.

Princess Xianning's heart trembled, her bright eyes were condensed with mist, and she felt bursts of sweetness in her heart.

Jia Heng looked at Princess Xianning with shining eyes, and said, "I'm going there later."

Princess Xianning: "???"

Frowning eyebrows, asked: "Sir, don't you want to work in Xingyuan?"

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I have some business matters to discuss with her."

If you mine gold mines in Song County, then you can't do without the Ministry of Internal Affairs, otherwise you'll be making a wedding dress for the Ministry of Household Affairs. From the perspective of future generations, the gold mine in Song County has a reserve of [-] tons, will it attract the attention of the Qi Party? ?

"Oh." Princess Xianning said softly, her eyes were gloomy and her interest was not high.

"I'll just come back tonight." Jia Heng said softly, it's impossible for him to live in the Princess Jinyang's mansion often. Last night was because Yuanchun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun just came, and he could stay here because of his family. one night.

Princess Xianning's bright eyes flickered, and her mood brightened obviously again.

Jia Heng stretched out his hand through the lotus green gauze skirt, gently caressing the slender straightness. He has ordered the seamstress to be busy with the socks in the past two days, and he thinks it will be soon...

Quickly suppressed the weird thoughts in his heart, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Xianning, you can't mess around like yesterday."

Well, the tone is somewhat insincere.

Princess Xianning's jade cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sir, where have I been messing around?"

She was also wronged for a while yesterday, so...

"Sir, you didn't seem to be very repulsive yesterday?" Princess Xianning said, her eyes fixed on the serious boy, and she asked in a strange way.

Jia Heng: "..."

Of course he was very repulsive, but there was no repulsion there.

Jia Heng held Xianning in his arms, and asked in his ear: "Yesterday, you... feel wronged?"

When the two met before, it was not easy for him to ask.

"No, she is the elder after all." Princess Xianning whispered.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "I feel sorry for her a lot."

When Princess Xianning heard the words, her delicate body trembled, her eyes were clear, and she didn't know what it was like.

"Xianning, it hasn't been easy for her these years, and she has dragged Chanyue to grow up." Jia Heng sighed softly.

Some things are not easy to say, and he was a little speechless in front of the two of them. He talked too much, and the two stopped the civil war and agreed to speak out.

"I know." Princess Xianning said softly, her jade face, as clear as snow, turned pale slightly, and there were bursts of sadness in her heart.

She understands the truth, but there is still some acid in her heart.

After all, in the deepest part of my husband's heart, that person is still more important than her.

However, one day...

"Okay, don't be wronged." Jia Heng wrapped his hands around Xianning's waist to catch the monster gently, put the girl down in his arms, leaned close to the peach blossom lips, and grabbed the sweetness.

Princess Xianning let out a "wow", and was immersed in Jia Heng's gentle and watery offensive for a while. After a while, she looked at the young man opposite her delicately, with reproachful eyes.

The husband's mouth can't be said that he kissed that person yesterday, and now he is kissing her again.

After a while, the two got tired of crooked for a while.

Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's go inside to take a shower and change clothes."

While speaking, he took Xianning's plain hand and walked towards the inner chamber.

Princess Xianning's cheeks were as clear as snow, her cheeks were as red as blood, and she lowered her head gently, allowing Jia Heng to hold her.

Having already ordered people to prepare hot water, Jia Heng and Princess Xianning took a bath together in the bathtub, and then changed into light clothes for a lingering time.

Afterwards, the two went to the Princess Jinyang's mansion in a carriage.

On the carriage, the bright and dark lights of the carriage through the bamboo curtains reflected the beautiful face of the young girl in the carriage, soft and peaceful, Xianning took a peek at the young man, and said in a low voice: "Sir, after dinner there , still tell a story?"

Jia Heng put his arms around Xianning's shoulders, and said softly: "Let's talk about it later."

Princess Xianning blinked her bright eyes, and murmured, "Sir, just now... I feel a little uncomfortable."

Jia Heng coughed lightly, looked around and said, "It's okay."

He almost didn't go on the right path before, mainly because Xianning's chaotic attributes seemed to be getting stronger, and he suddenly imitated Princess Jinyang's speech, who can resist it?

"Ziyu, a little bit above, Ziyu..."

I'm afraid that one day he will learn how to speak like Queen Song... Well, what is he thinking about?

Princess Xianning said softly, "I'm also worried that after returning to Beijing, it will be bad for your reputation."

Jia Heng said: "It's better to wait a little longer."

Unless he won a big victory in the war against the captives, the world would have no objection, and it was a different world at that time, and now there are actually some small fights.

When Jia Heng and Princess Xianning entered the mansion of Princess Jinyang, Princess Jinyang was sitting in the flower hall on the first floor of the attic, checking the account books of the House of Internal Affairs with Yuan Chun. Seeing them, she asked with a smile: "Why?" Come here at this time?"

Secretly, if you don't seize the time to be tender together, what are you doing here?

Could it be that without her by the side, Xianning doesn't think it's enough...?

Thinking of this, Princess Jinyang frowned, and a faint look flashed in her phoenix eyes.

Facing the eyes of Yuan Chun and Jin Yang, Jia Heng said softly: "Let's discuss the business."

Leaving aside the serious business now, Yuan Chun and Jin Yang probably thought he... was too thirsty.

Princess Jinyang was surprised, and said, "What's the business?"

Jia Heng told about the abundant gold mines underground in Song County, and said softly: "Tomorrow, I will look for craftsmen from the House of Internal Affairs and guards from the Jinyi House to explore Song County."

Under the beautiful eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her bright eyes sparkled, and she asked, "How do you know?"

This whim, saying that there is a gold mine, is really unexpected.

Jia Heng said: "Looking through the county chronicles and maps of Song County in the past few days, I can infer from some clues, whether there is a date or not."

This kind of thing can only be like this.

"Okay, then I have ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take a look. If many gold mines are found, it will be an extra income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Princess Jinyang said in a dubious voice.

Immediately, he took a look at Xianning, saw that the corners of his brows were full of spring, his peach cheeks were dizzy, his heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself, don't these two people really know nothing, they are going to fight each other before they get married, right?

If you look carefully, you will find that there is still a difference, so you can breathe a sigh of relief.

That's right, if it's true, Xianning probably won't do well, and it's impossible to come with him right now.

Princess Jinyang thought about the reason, so she didn't ask, but said: "Yuanchun, go and call Chanyue, Tanchun and Xiangyun to come over and have dinner together later."

That's right, he is young, and now that she has been inconvenient for the past two days, it is better to ask Yuan Chun to accompany her home later, otherwise, if he and Xianning are passed on to the court in the future, it will be a bit ugly.

Of course, there are other ways to cover up.

Jia Heng said: "I met the two magistrates of Xin'an County and Song County earlier. I don't know what the official voice is, but it is quite satisfactory."

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "You can make up your own mind about these matters."

Jia Heng nodded and did not continue to mention this matter.

On the other side, Li Chanyue, Tanchun, and Xiangyun all came to listen to Jia Heng's story when they heard that Jia Heng was coming.

Not to mention how Jia Heng used dinner and told stories at the Princess Jinyang's residence.

The words are divided into two parts, but it is said that on Fu Shi's side, in the inn, his wife is talking to Fu Qiufang in the wing room.

Fu Qiufang is wearing a simple green dress, with willow eyebrows and moon eyes, without any makeup, and her jade face is quite elegant. Her hair is tied up with a blue headdress, and a beaded hairpin is pinned between her temples, which further sets off her quiet and bookish atmosphere. Rich texture.

"Qiu Fang, you are not young anymore. This time your brother will stay in Henan for two or three years. At that time, there will always be a meeting. What kind of family should I promise you?" Fu Shizhi's wife said.

Fu Qiufang's face was calm and calm, and her voice was crisp and waxy, she said: "Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the parents go early, since I live with my brother and sister-in-law, I will listen to my brother and sister-in-law."

I have already guessed the reason in my heart.

When Fu Shi's wife heard the words, her face was full of smiles, and she knew that what she said was in her heart, and said: "Your brother's thoughts, you have guessed a little bit, and now the Ningguo Mansion's Master Heng is the governor of Henan Province, and has made military achievements again. Being an earl, with such achievements at such a young age, I am afraid that even the princes will be unable to hold him in the future, so if you give him a side room, it will not be regarded as wronging your character."

Fu Qiufang bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, lowered her head, and didn't say a word.

At this moment, a nanny called out from the door: "Ma'am, miss, the second master is back."

When Fu Shi's wife heard the words, she got up quickly and said with a smile, "Your brother is back."

Not long after the words were finished, seeing Fu Shi with a happy face enter the wing room, Fu Shi's wife smiled and said, "Master, what did Master Heng say?"

Fu Shi laughed and said, "I mentioned a few words, and I'm sure Xinyang Prefecture will be the magistrate. After serving a good term, if there are political achievements, there will be transfers."

Fu Shi's wife, upon hearing this, beamed with joy and said, "Master, this is great, there is no need for a mother-in-law to take care of her, and she can be promoted again when she takes the next job."

When my husband was a judge in Jingzhao Mansion, there was a strict official of Jingzhao Mansion Yin on his head. Now he is the magistrate of a state, and there is a brother-in-law of the governor. It is not an exaggeration to overshadow the sky in the local area.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But the joy on Fu Shi's face faded away, and he said solemnly: "My husband can tell you clearly, being an official in Xinyang is no better than Jingzhong, if someone finds out about collecting money indiscriminately, I'm afraid that Uncle Heng will punish him severely."

He also saw that Uncle Heng was no better than the second master of Rongguo Mansion, and he had to be extremely careful when working under him.

"Master, don't worry, I still want to be a fifth-rank imperial order." Fu Shizhi's wife hurriedly said with a sneer.

Secretly thought, now that Xianggong is attached to that Uncle Heng, is he afraid that he will be promoted to the third or fourth rank in the future?

At that time, she was the imperial order of the third and fourth ranks.

Fu Qiufang watched her brother and sister-in-law talking about their promotion, and sighed inwardly.

At this time, Fu Shi also sat down on the embroidered pier beside him, and said with a light smile, "Qiu Fang, I think your sister-in-law told you that you are not young, and I wanted to find you a good one. The destination, but after thinking about it, I think about it, but the destination is far away in the sky and close in front of my eyes, which is Uncle Heng of the East Mansion."

It would be much better to be a side concubine for the prince or county king, but thinking about it now, it might not be better than marrying the Uncle Heng who has been ennobled as Yongningbo.

Although princes and county kings are noble, they may not be able to help him in his official career, and they are far inferior to Uncle Heng in Ningguo Mansion.

Fu Qiufang narrowed her eyes, a hint of thought appeared between her quiet and gentle eyebrows, her voice was calm as if she was talking about other people's affairs, and she said: "This kind of wealthy family enjoys great wealth, but the risks they have to take are also Very comparable to others, my brother is like this now, but I have thought about it."

Fu Shi's wife smiled and said: "In life, there is no one who does not take risks, but I see that Mr. Heng is getting bigger and bigger."

Fu Shi also twisted his beard with his hand, although he didn't say anything, his intention was decided.

"Since brother and sister-in-law say so, then I can only listen to the decision." Fu Qiufang said softly.

She also met that Uncle Heng twice, anyway, according to her elder brother's intentions, it was probably used as a concubine for some high-ranking official.

Fu Shi nodded and said: "This matter can't be rushed, it still needs to be planned. I see that Master Heng is not easy to get along with, so we need to make a long-term plan."

He was afraid that if he sent his sister there with shame, if they refused, then he would lose all face, and it would easily hurt the good foundation he had built so hard.

It is necessary to find a good opportunity.

"The master said that Qiu Fang entrusted him to go to Xinyang to know the state." Fu Shizhi's wife rolled her eyes and said with an idea.

Fu Shi shook his head and said, "This excuse is somewhat untenable."

When he went to be the magistrate, he entrusted his sister.

Fu Qiufang's face was pale, and her soft and watery eyebrows saw her thinking, then she took up the conversation and said: "Why don't you say that after I arrived in Luoyang, the climate was not acclimatized, and the doctor said that I need to rest and recuperate, but I can't catch up, and my brother has to rush to Xinyang Prefecture Assuming the post, with my brother's connection with the Rongguo Mansion, entrusting it to him is a matter of course."

Hearing this, Fu Shi's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's better for my younger sister to be very intelligent."

His younger sister has seen people since she was a child, and she is even above him, so when she gets to that Uncle Heng's side, she will never be sent to him again.

After Fu Qiufang finished speaking, she ignored her elder brother and said softly: "Elder brother and sister-in-law are talking first, and I will go back to my room to rest."

……

……

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the summer of Chongping 15 years has already entered May, the weather has completely warmed up, the heat is hot, and the Dragon Boat Festival is only a few days away.

During these ten days or so, Jia Heng was stationed in Luoyang City, supervising and inquiring about the "big plan" of Henan Province, and successively met with relevant officials of Henan Prefecture. High-level officials from the government and other places also came to see Jia Heng one after another.

At the same time, Jia Heng sent Jinyi Mansion Guards and some craftsmen from the Luoyang House of Internal Affairs to go to counties around Luoyang to investigate gold mines and coal mines according to the memories of their previous lives.

As time passed, good news gradually came.
